Icecat Hexagon is an internal platform of Icecat that is used to connect to individual retailers, Akeneo users and a marketplace like Mirakl.
This month, we’re deploying significant improvements to simplify workflows, enhance collaboration, and automate daily tasks in Icecat Hexagon. Below are the key updates now available.
Users can now view all resolutions of an image (original and resized) in a new “Links” tab during editing. Resolutions are clearly displayed, and links can be copied or opened directly.
After generating an export, an informative message with a direct link to the exports list is displayed, eliminating the need for manual navigation.
Two new views for filtering documents:
Key advantages include faster document search and improved readability.

Invitation Management: Send, accept, or reject collaboration requests with one click.
Invitation History: Full tracking of invitations (status, timestamp, users).
Upcoming Features:

Key advantages include streamlined management of a large volume of images (hundreds) through single operations, improved adherence to brand guidelines and accessibility requirements.

Products with valid MPN + Brand data (but no Gtin) are now automatically matched, reducing manual intervention.
The built-in Trim action now removes extra inner spaces (not just leading/trailing), reducing sequences of 2+ spaces to a single space.
The benefits of this change include cleaner and more consistent export data, requiring less manual cleanup for technical teams.
